Idk if this is the right comm but whatever, this should be stickied

Internet archive taking a lot of fire from all over at the moment, this one's by corporate record labels.

I know petitions dont do much, but there's not a lot else that we can do for them other than donate, so come and sign the petition:

https://www.change.org/p/defend-the-internet-archive

I can't stress how valuable Internet Archive and their magical Wayback Machine are.

Fuck recording labels and publishers trying to burn down the digital library of alexandria

probably remove the "recruited_by_id=xxxx" from the link, it's a tracking parameter that will tie others who click the link from here to your change.org acct

Here is the non-recruited_by ID for the folks that have commented that they would prefer it. https://www.change.org/p/defend-the-internet-archive

This is over the fucking 78rpm collection? Over 90yo shellac recordings???

wait why is the way back machine specifically at issue here?

[–] Cadende@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

because having to pay RIAA, etc, 700 million dollars in damages would probably outright kill the internet archive and therefore the wayback machine. They are rallying people around the most popular core of their services.
